Emdeko Sewing Machine, what is it worth

[azurbanclucker]

⁹I was just gifted this machine, JA21, yesterday!! I know NOTHING about it. There is no manual!! I can't even find out how to turn it on!!! I really need a manual if anyone would like to share!

Thank you for any help you can give!

Not a lot of info out there but I did find this:

https://thimblebook.com/index.php/2019/02/14/insiders-guide-emdeko-ja21/

Included is a link to purchase a pdf of the manual for 5 dollars

NOTE: I cannot validate the accuracy of the purchase link. It seems to be legit, but I would suggest you use a paypal or some "throw away" payment method just in case.

I would love a copy of the user manual. I have my mom's machine which is the one I used when she was teaching me to sew.

Does anyone know how to attach the zipper foot. Mine is from around 1970 as well. I don’t know if I’m missing an adapter, but I can’t figure out how to attach it.

We got an EMDEKO sewing machine back in 1970 and other than it weighing a ton, it's a great machine.
We also have the original user manual, not sure of the model number but there's a metal on the bottom with "NH-69744".
If anyone wants a copy, let me know and I'll scan it and upload the file.

I would love a copy of the manual! Was just gifted with an older Emdeko today!
